last time I checked, touchdown exchange doesn't have public APIs for other apps to find and interact with, so I can't do much about that.

you can, however, change the "other" icon to be an email icon by using the themes.

just go to the website and read about installing these themes. once you have that, you can just copy icon_email.png to icon_other.png and that should work. it'll replace all "other" notifications with that email icon though.
[Android Apps and Games] ri3tn:
Is it possible to integrate a notification for google voice, by any chance? Sorry if this has been addressed already.
[Android Apps and Games] emelie:
couple of ideas to make the switch:

do one last verson with the old package name and put a nice big-lettered description in the market advising users to uninstall/reinstall with the new name.

simultaneously release the new version so users can follow your instructions the second they get update.

also, add a popup to the old version with the same description as in the old market version - to advise users to uninstall this old version and install the new version (add a market link).
[Android Apps and Games] rbradmag:
Works great, thanks!

FYI note: on my G2, when I have the missed call notification turned on for NoLED, it clears all other active notifications from the screen when a call is missed. I can have several email notifications on-screen, but when the call is missed and the missed call icon is displayed on the screen, the email notifications are cleared. Of course, I would prefer to have the other notifications stay active until I clear them myself if possible.

If I have the missed call notification turned off on NoLED, the missed call does not clear any on-screen notifications.

Also, the "All Other" does not work for me with Google Voice. I have it turned on with Icons turned on, but nothing happens when the notification arrives. Would love to have this working if possible.

Thanks!
[Android Apps and Games] madmack:
Thanks again for these ideas. I'm not entirely sure how I'll go about it. I think with the new package, i'll just add in the market comments in capitals: something like "UNINSTALL CURRENT VERSION BEFORE INSTALLING THIS". The problem is, many of the customers are non-english speakers.. *sigh*.. I gotta brute force that someday, and I think that day is coming with the next update. lol

I'm not sure, I guess it'll cause a storm, but hopefully, eventually the dust will settle.

Yea, I'm aware of that missed call problem. I'll add it to the things to get fixed. Android is kind of not consistent in the way it calls some methods in the app. Proof is that sometimes the missed call would not erase previous notifications, and some other times it would. i think it all depends on the memory management of the OS. If it decides to "kill" NoLED when you receive that missed call, then notifications are erased. Otherwise, they stay.

Nothing that can't be fixed though, I'll need to deal with saving states.. I'll add it to the to do list :)

for "All other", read the FAQ. or the website's main "home" page.
[Android Apps and Games] emelie:
but the thing is, how are people that don't check in here going to notice that you have changed to a "new app"? (at least that's how non-tech-savvy people are going to perceive that change)
[Android Apps and Games] madmack:
market update comments ? before you update through the market, you're always greeted with a market comment of the app. at least thats the case in Eclair, while in Froyo you can skip that all together by selecting "Update all" if you had more than one app to update.
[Android Apps and Games] evilhunter101:
You could change a permission. Doing so would not let froyo devices update the app using update all.
[Android Apps and Games] madmack:
true ! I'll put some temporary extra permission just to get everyone's attention, then take that off after a couple of iterations.

thanks ;)
[Android Apps and Games] VICosPhi:
Amazing APP.... specially the added features..!!! Donation coming your way...
[Android Apps and Games] fjelsten:
Hello

Love the program. Is there any way to convince you to add support for K9 Mail for Pure Widgets as well?

The functionality should be the same as the original although paths may be different.

Thanks in advance.

Notification for yahoo messenger?

@Madmack... love the app. I have the most recent version installed with the options checked... including "all other" I still use yahoo messenger and find that if I have a notification from yahoo that NoLed doesn't pick it up. Not a complaint but a suggestion for down the line. There is a notification in the notification bar... an exclamation mark inside a circle.
[Android Apps and Games] ajm786:
I as well as some other folks on this thread requested, and hope, that madmack can implement a notification icon or something similar for charging. When the phone is on, there is pretty much no way to tell (for example, in the dark), if a phone is charging or not, or whether or not it has finished.
[Android Apps and Games] madmack:
I can implement a "charging is finished" type of thing, but probably not a charing indicator in general. Problem with charging indicators is that NoLED will have to activate itself automatically after you switch the screen off when the phone is charing. There is no incoming event per se, if you see what I mean. Plus, these type of notifications cannot be "dismissed", which is what the framework of NoLED relies on really.
[Android Apps and Games] Pneumatic:
I would like to see this too. I use NoLock and this doesn't work when it is enabled.
[Android Apps and Games] madmack:
you guys can use versions earlier than v2.3.

you should read the FAQ on why support for no screen locks was dropped.
[Android Apps and Games] tomeks:
First of all, great piece of software, maybe you should consider not only free version ;)

Today I have found probably an error.

When you set up blinking in noled, screen is blinking because of notification and alarm is ringing in that moment, you could turn off alarm only by vol up/down button. There is no reaction for touching the screen and you are unable to unlock the phone (it looks like screen with the pattern is "inactive"). Only one way is to take out the battery.
[Android Apps and Games] aibo:
Nice app. Can you please add the notification when the battery is charged please.
[Android Apps and Games] damirbusic:
I could translate it to Croatian if needed but I dont know which program should I use for that ?

Cheers
[Android Apps and Games] sO_os:
Use Open Office Calc. Why? Because U can choose correct encoding (UTF-8). Like I did it.
[Android Apps and Games] tomeks:
One suggestion for blinking:

synchronisation of the movement with blinking. Now sometimes movement happening during on time, and with short ones (250ms on, 2sec off) is hard to see on phase.
[Android Apps and Games] madmack:
Hi, thanks for considering a translation. You can edit the files with any text editor. But I guess if Croatian has special characters, saving in UTF-8 will be necessary. For that you could use Notepad++ (or wordpad ? would that work?)

Did you try to manually set the moving interval ? that could fix it.
[Android Apps and Games] madmack:
Market ?

Market: The upgraded apk's package name (com.devasque.noled) must be the same as the one it is replacing (com.led.notify).

There goes my idea of fixing the package name.
[Android Apps and Games] emelie:
I thought you knew that.

So i guess my idea for making the switch makes more sense now ;)
[Android Apps and Games] madmack:
damn.. I don't want to create a new market entry for NoLED :( its got some solid stats now.
[Android Apps and Games] evilhunter101:
Might as well just leave it as is. I doubt any end users will care anyway. Well, at least most of us wont.
[Android Apps and Games] madmack:
Yea, that's what I did for v3.4. I'm not sure where this is going, and like you said, most people don't care really. Its just that it would be consistent and more intuitive if it has a proper package name. specially if I decided to put an installer for the zipped theme packages, then they'd go to /android/data/package.name/themes . but i guess we'll just leave the themes folder by itself for now.

if users want themes, they'll add these folders themselves i guess. That way, i also won't have to deal with zip installers or any of that.
[Android Apps and Games] androidmonkey:
Why do you want to change the market entry?
[Android Apps and Games] madmack:
read post #1262
[Android Apps and Games] emelie:
playing with 3.4 right now.

i'm running into a couple of issues i think - going to check in the next days if i can get them under control and if they were reported before. but no show stoppers - blinking icons humming along :)

i'll definitely need to refine the german translation now that i'm seeing how the various strings are looking in the context of the app.

how about you put the xml up to google docs and send me an invitaiton via mail?
[Android Apps and Games] pcboxer:
Hello together

I have the problem that I am always be notified about new mails in K9 even if I had disabled this notifications in the settings for my 3 accounts in K9. I have one account in Google-Mail I want to be notified and 3 in K9 that I don't want.

What I am doing wrong? All K9-accounts are disabled in the menu "toggle notifications".

Thanks for your help
[Android Apps and Games] damirbusic:
I have just tried this app and it is really great ! Only thing that seems to be bug or something is that when I tap my finger over touch buttons they turn ON, the light goes ON and nothing else happens, I think that this only uses battery and should be turned OFF so we must press middle hardware button or power button to turn the screen ON. I dont see any use of those soft buttons working when the screen is off and the phone is locked ?

Tnx a lot for this app, I really missed LED from my Xperia X10.
[Android Apps and Games] madmack:
I keep updating the post of the translation xml files that is referenced by the OP.

But here are some gdocs too, just like you requested.

send me a pm with ur email so I can give you write access to the german version if you wish :)

This issue was fixed in v3.4. Update in market :)
[Android Apps and Games] madmack:
Unfortunately, I don't have control over this with our stock kernels. They should turn off automatically by themselves after a while though.

When you see the notifications, the screen is really "on", thats why these buttons respond to your touches (although I'm suppressing them programatically).
[Android Apps and Games] pcboxer:
Wow, thanks for the fast reply.

Great, the new version 3.4 fixed my problem and now with german translation!

Super

Finnish Translation

Here is a Finnish translation files that i translated today. I hope that some Finnish ppl would go it through and say if something isnt right or just sounds odd or funny :) I did this in an hour or 2 so there might be some typos also :)

Is there some way i could test the files myself??
[Android Apps and Games] Rosa Elefant:
Many force closes lately. 3.4 crashes directly. Bug report is out.
[Android Apps and Games] damirbusic:
Does it use a lot of the battery in that mode ? Also, can you make timeout on 5 seconds after SMS or anything else is received ? Now it turns off screen after 2 secs and I get notification and when I am by the phone I want to reply imediately. Or maybe it is already there ? I will have a look in settings.

EDIT: Also I get FC for no reason, the widget just says that it is off for no apparent reason.
[Android Apps and Games] madmack:
Thanks a lot guys for your contribution in translations.

Unfortunately there isn't an easy way for you to modify/test the app. but I have compiled an apk with finnish, czech and french added. You can test it using the apk I'm attaching here.

Seems you have installed K9 after installing NoLED. Uninstall/reinstall NoLED should fix this. Unfortunately, Android doesn't register permissions for specific apps if they don't exist. When you install K9 after NoLED, NoLED misses these vital permissions to function. The only way for Android to register these new permissions is by reinstalling the app.

I couldn't find a way to "catch" these exceptions either; they seem to be enforced/controlled by the OS itself.

I'd recommend using the "back button" for that. After I get an sms, i click on the back key and I'm back to my lock screen immediately.
[Android Apps and Games] Rosa Elefant:
Actually, I installed K9, then updated NoLED.

Anyway, thank you for the explanation. I will reinstall NoLED and tell you if I still get crashes. :)
[Android Apps and Games] petzku:
The Finnish translation doesnt show nordic letters like ä and ö.. any fix to that? I do have a different font installed through Gscript.. lets see if it works on normal font...
[Android Apps and Games] Rosa Elefant:
Reinstalled fixed my problems indeed. :)
[Android Apps and Games] petzku:

[Android Apps and Games] madmack:

[Android Apps and Games] petzku:
Here is the RC1 of the Finnish language. It should be ok now. I had to do it now, and not tomorrow :)
[Android Apps and Games] gaelynx:
I started doing a french translation, but is there already one now?
[Android Apps and Games] madmack:
sorry about that delay.

its one of these things that I was about to do and then . . ., nothing. lol. got busy with some other things I guess.

I've updates the OP to reflect the latest two additions.
[Android Apps and Games] prosto_mike:
Here is an updated Russian translation. This should fit better on the screen and make more sense. :) . Please see a short note in strings_ru.xml, since you have added a Language menu.

Now, with this ver 3.4 I am experiencing a very noticeable lag when I try to go into Settings, and I am talking like 5-7 seconds. Dismissing with Power button also takes a few seconds. Also had a few FCs (I have sent a crash report)

I did switch back to v3.3 and things looked much better there - no lag in dismissing notifications or getting into settings.

I did my usual routine for uninstall / reinstall: uninstall-reboot-install-reboot-change settings.

I would also like to back up earlier suggestion to be able to save user settings. It would really help with all uninstall-reinstall business.

I am on JI6 Vibrant with RyanZa one click lag fix.
[Android Apps and Games] madmack:
I just sent you a pm.

About the lag, I truly can't explain it. The only addition I've done in 3.4 was the locales. All the rest of the changes were small code changes here and there to fix some of the FCs ppl were facing.

Can you try forcing the English locale and see if you still get this lag ?

I've also noticed that the file size increased by a pretty sizable margin with the introduction of these new locales. I wonder how Android manages these files behind the scenes :confused:
[Android Apps and Games] DarrenCarnall:
the people who make the K9 app should thank you, they're probably getting loads of downloads off this lol.

I was totally happy with the stock Galaxy S email app, but I would've preferred to get a specific email icon, as opposed to the generic notification icon. Once I heard that you could get that with K9, I went and downloaded it.

Loving getting actual email icons now :D

I love this app, thank you so much.
[Android Apps and Games] wangmian858:
excellent!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
[Android Apps and Games] madmack:
K-9 is pretty much around there since the birth of Android. I remember using K9 on my G1 back in the day :)

Great app though, and I love how easy they made the ability to track new email messages. They even made it possible to read the content of these emails. NoLED could use that to display the beginning of the email body briefly.. etc etc.. this project can go in so many different directions.
[Android Apps and Games] prosto_mike:
I dont think I got any pm from you.

My phone by default is set to use English - that has never changed. I was changing Language in NoLED itself. No matter what language I selected - the lag was present. Its not a deal breaker but more of an FYI. Tried v3.3.1 this morning again - no lag.

I also tried uninstalling/reinstalling v3.4, rebooting and going into settings and not changing language but just selecting icons and colors - very noticeable lag if I go into Test then back, it would sit on "Setting menu will restart...." note for 5+ seconds then go to black screen with NoLED Settings on the top bar for another 7 or so seconds. its pretty consistent for me.

thx

NoLED randomly turns itself off?

I installed 3.4 yesterday (uninstalled previous version, rebooted, and then installed the new) and had the timer set to be off at 23:45, and on at 7:45. But for some reason, the app did not activate itself at 7:45 this morning. Also, I realized that the app is now turning itself off randomly during the daytime. I've been using the NoLED for a long time and I never experienced that. I'm going to try to inactivate the timer and see if the app still turns off randomly. In meantime, can you please post the previous version which is rock solid on my Vibrant? Thanks much :-)
[Android Apps and Games] kyeung:
It just turned itself off again when the timer is inactive. Can you (or someone) please point me to where I can download the previous version? (I found the 3.2 on some previous post, but could not find 3.3.) Thanks! :)
[Android Apps and Games] madmack:
In NoLED's settings, click "Help". It should direct you to the website where you can download any previous version.
[Android Apps and Games] kaotixxda:
So I was testing an alarm clock app... (You can probably guess where I'm going with this...

"3. NoLED will work with SMS/MMS, Gtalk, Gmail, Missed calls, Voicemail and Calendar even in silent/vibrate mode. However, other apps that may be using audio notifications will not work if phone is in silent/vibrate mode."

Is there anyway to fix this issue. I really dont care to be bothered by an audible notification from somebody posting on my facebook at 3am so I put my phone on silent. And as much as I LOVE having this app.. getting up for work on time takes priority. :(
[Android Apps and Games] damirbusic:
Madmack please fix this FC issue that we have and it will be perfect then, only thing that is missing is constant ON switch ;) Can we make log somehow so you can see why is it constantly turning off ?

Tnx

please!

[Android Apps and Games] madmack:
I thought alarms are always triggered even in silent/vibrate mode ;)

I probably need to rephrase this. I meant "will not trigger NoLED in silent/vibrate mode" not "not work at all" .

So yea, you can definitely use your alarm, and all your other apps and they should work.

Also, here is a tip. For "All other" notifications, you can always mix and match ringtones to allow some to trigger NoLED, and some to not. NoLED only listens to all default ringtones. if you have any custom ones that are on your sdcard for example, they will ring, and NoLED will not detect it.

Perfect ! Thanks a lot

How about you make one for us ? ;) instructions are in the OP.

I've noticed that most FCs happening are due to wrong permissions. I think there is also a bug where if you install a K-9 account, and then remove it, you get an FC. The same FC happens if you install K-9, and then uninstall it.

The other reason is, well, autokillers (memory/task managers/killers) !! get rid of these or exclude NoLED. without that background service running in the background, NoLED cannot function.

The way to fix any of these for now is to just uninstall/reinstall NoLED.

If anybody can pinpoint FCs and how to exactly replicate them, please post your findings here so I can track the exact cause.

Can you try this apk and see if it works ?

I didn't test it because I don't have that program installed, but I just assumed he only changed the package name. If he did only that, then this should work.

Let me know !

edit: you might have to uninstall/reinstall NoLED because I added a new permission.
[Android Apps and Games] damirbusic:
Hm, I dont have K9 and I dont have any Task Killer or manager since it was draining my battery. I will try to track when it turn itself off because there is notification when it turns off and the phone is unlocked and post it here. But every day it turns off like 2-3 times for no reason...

Installing new themes

These instructions are not accurate. In step 3 I had to create another folder within the 'themes folder which I named 'x2themes'. If you don't do this you will get an error message when you navigate to the themes folder to select them. If you place each theme in an individual folder as the instructions indicate, then each one is listed as an individual theme. I finally got it right although I havn't gotten any messages yet to see if the x2 themes will work and if they are larger than default. Please edit that post for other users. BTW this is my favorite app and as soon as I can expect a donation!:)

Opps, I get it now, my bad! The instructions are for installing multiple theme packs and not just one like I was trying to do. So embarrassed and very sorry!

I love this app..

Any possibility of show a number showing how many missed calls or sms? thx
[Android Apps and Games] damirbusic:
I have realized that the app turns itself off after some time right after I unlock the screen. Is it possible that Android system puts it on the end of the list after a while and when unlocking the system needs RAM it simply kills NoLED service !?
[Android Apps and Games] madmack:
lol, I hear you. This might sound funny, but I'm in love with this too! and although I didn't expect it initially, it can get quite addictive. I don't think I can go back to looking at LEDs and not knowing what exactly is the notification about. or staring at the LED waiting to see if it'll blink or not. lol.. (Motorola milestone, anyone?)

Coming from a Nokia background, LEDs and clear visual indications have always been my thing. Now I get to even know what exactly I've missed by glancing at our beautiful SAMOLED screen.

I'm thinking about it. Wish I had some better graphics and design skills.. I would've been more excited about it than I am now. lol. I'll play around a little and see if I can come up with something cosmetically appealing :cool:

There was another guy with the same problem. I don't have it here, so I can't really tell you what exactly causes is. I can only speculate though that its a task killer of some sorts. But even if the app turns off, it should come back up automatically almost instantly.
